According to Newton County Circuit Court records, Wampler signed on to Kauffman's defense team on April 21 and has already filed numerous motions, including a request for a change of venue.
Kauffman's next court hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 12.
Kauffman, 62, who is also a minister, resigned as mayor shortly after his arrest in January.

Being a small town mayor must pay really well, as Wampler isn't cheap.
